FINAL' REPORT 

OF THE 

MINNESOTA BOARD OF WORLD’S FAIR MANAGERS. 


St. Paul, Minn., Dec. 6th, 1894. 

Hon. Knute Nelson, 

Governor of Minnesota, 

St. Paul, Minn. 

Sir: —On behalf of the Minnesota State Board of 
World’s Fair Managers, and in accordance with the pro¬ 
visions of the Act of the Legislature entitled, “An Act 
to provide for the collection, arrangement and display of 
the products of the State of Minnesota at the World’s 
Columbian Exposition of One Thousand Eight Hundred 
and Ninety-three, and to make an appropriation there¬ 
for,” I have the honor to transmit to you herewith a 
statement of the proceedings and expenditures of said 
Board of World’s Fair Managers as shown by the accom¬ 
panying detailed reports as follows, viz : 

Report of L. P. Hunt, Sup’t. of State Exhibit. 

Report of C. McC. Reeve, Secretary. 

Report of D. A. Monfort, Special Treasurer of Sub¬ 
scription Fund. 

Report of J. J. Furlong, General Treasurer. 

Report of Mrs. F. B. Clark, President of Women’s 
Auxiliary Board. 

Report of Mrs. A. A. White, Treasurer of Women’s 
Auxiliary Board. 

As will be noticed by an examination of the Secre¬ 
tary’s financial statement the. aggregate amount of 






receipts and disbursements by the Board has been as 


follows : 

RECEIPTS. 

Legislative appropriation of 1891.$ 50,000 00 

“ “ “ 1893. 100,000 00 

Received for interest on deposits of Special Treasurer. . . 1,159 65 

Received for interest on deposits of General Treasurer. . 570 44 

Received from all other sources (as per detailed report).. 1,826 67 


$153,556 76 

Of which aggregate amount there has been disbursed, 
as shown by the Secretary’s tabulated statement of 
expenditures referred to above, the sum of #137*787* 53* 
There has been returned into the State Treasury the 
sum of $15,000.00, and there remains in the hands of 
the Treasurer of this Board $769.23, the unexpended 
balance of which, after providing for the printing and 
distribution of this report, will also be returned into the 
State Treasury. 

The work of the Commission and its results having 
been so fully detailed in the various reports and supple¬ 
mental statements above enumerated, further reference 
thereto is not here necessary. It is due to the members 
of the Commission to state, however, that they individu¬ 
ally and collectively desire the most rigid scrutiny of the 
accounts herewith submitted. Having served entirely 
without compensation, and endeavored faithfully and 
conscientiously to discharge the somewhat onerous 
duties devolving upon them, they hope at least to 
receive the credit to which they know themselves to be 
entitled, of having honestly expended the funds entrusted 
to their charge. 

Very respectfully, 

D. A. MONFORT, 

President. 






SUPERINTENDENT’S REPORT. 


To the Honorable Board of World’s Fair Managers 
of Minnesota. 

Gentlemen: As the Executive Agent of your Honor¬ 
able Board, upon whom has devolved much of the 
detail work in collecting and arranging the exhibits from 
Minnesota sent to the World’s Columbian Exposition, I 
have the honor to submit to you herewith my final re¬ 
port, begging indulgence for any inaccuracies or omis¬ 
sions which may occur 

Through the medium afforded in commemorating the 
discovery of our fair country by Columbus four centur¬ 
ies ago, the people of every civilized, semi-civilized, 
christianized and semi-christianized country on the 
globe has sipped at the fount of American greatness and 
tasted the sweets of American freedom and independ¬ 
ence. As a child but a few years from without its 
parent fold, American grandeur stands out in symbols 
of bold relief, clothed in garments of richest intellectual 
texture, crowned with a progressive developement 
carved from sturdy manhood and bejeweled with un¬ 
perishable patriotism, the counterpart of which history 
records no parallel. One of the youngest among the 
civilized nations of the earth, she stands today the 
greatest and grandest, with an armor surrounding her fair 
form upon the shield of which is inscribed the suggestive 



SUPERINTENDENT’S REPORT 


« 

motto— E Pluribus Unum. To be numbered among the 
people of such a country in inspiring, to be a resident of 
a commonwealth occupying so prominent a place in the 
great sisterhood of states which go to make up the 
whole is no less gratifying, and to feel that the contribu¬ 
tions and energies of each have combined to shed lustre 
upon America which the washing of the sands of time 
will only make the brighter, and from which coming 
generations will absorb knowledge and inspiration, is 
more than full compensation for all the labor, cost, 
trouble and discouragement encountered by those upon 
whom the burden rested for making of the great World’s 
Fair the unapproachable success it was. 

Following the provisions of the Act of Congress ap¬ 
proved April 25, 1890, governing the management of 
the World’s Columbian Expositson in general form, the 
legislature of Minnesota passed a law for the appoint¬ 
ment of a Board of Managers by the governor, specify¬ 
ing therein some of its duties, and appropriating for its 
uses in collecting, arranging, maintaining exhibits, etc., 
the sum of $50,000. While this sum of itself was 
entirely inadequate for the purposes set forth, the hands 
of the Commission were absolutely tied, and its physical 
efforts shorn of results by the induction of a clause in 
the law making it unlawful to use any portion of the 
sum appropriated for purposes of erecting and main¬ 
taining a state building on Jackson Park. Fruitless 
efforts were made to have the amount increased to at 
least $100,000, but the law makers at this early stage in 
Exposition affairs, and with a consequent lack of knowl¬ 
edge of precisely how so large a sum could be judici¬ 
ously expended, were inexorable. Your Honorable 
Board, however, empowered with the duties and 
burdened with the responsibilities, soon made it mani¬ 
fest to the liberal minded people of the state that to 
carry out the true spirit of the law which you had 
been delegated to administer, greatly increased financial 
aid would be required. 


TO BOARD OF MANAGERS

After you had devised a method for securing an ad¬ 
ditional $100,000 with which to supplement the $50,000 
appropriated by the legislature, i. e. apportioning to 
each of the eighty counties a sum equal to the whole, on 
the basis of 17-100 of a mill on the dollar of the 
assessed valuation as shown by the assessors’ returns 
for 1890, your Superintendent set out to try and 
accomplish the task given him. 

Briefly, the end was reached and the victory gained 
in this manner. A personal letter was addressed to the 
postmasters at county seats in every county in the state 
(save those in counties where members of the commis¬ 
sion reside, as each commissioner was to look after his 
own county) and the request made that a list of a half 
dozen or more names be sent of men whose pride in 
public affairs might induce them to become interested 
in aiding in this work. Many responses were received 
and while less than a half dozen counties raised their 
quotas until a personal visit was made, valuable points 
were gained which materially aided in final success. 

Your Superintendent personally visited from one to 
four and six towns in over sixty counties, and in the 
accomplishment of this work alone traveled over 35,000 
miles. About thirteen months continuous labor was 
required to reach the end. A word of recognition is 
due and is hereby extended to the thousands of liberal, 
progressive citizens throughout the State who so gen¬ 
erously and unselfishly came to the assistance of the 
Commission in its undertaking to raise so large a fund 
by voluntary subscriptions, with no promise or well 
founded expectation for its return other than the faith 
in them that the justice of the measure which appealed 
to their generosity might quicken the consciences of 
the legislative members and an appropriation follow 
which would cover back to them the money they had 
freely given to save the reputation of their beloved 
State at a critical juncture in its history. 

While the legislature, in its wise discretion and sound 


8 


SUPERINTENDENT'S REPORT 


judgment, coupled with a keen sense of simple justice, 
did make the required appropriation, yet this fact does 
not rob those who advanced the money of any credit, 
and all credit, for had it not been for their timely help 
you must have failed; as the session of the legislature 
came at a period too closely bordering upon the open¬ 
ing of the Exposition to have been of value to this 
Board in making large outlays of money and otherwise 
arranging its business long months before. 

I have the honor and take special pride in submitting 
herewith an abstract tabulated statement of the amounts 
subscribed in the different counties of the State toward 
the World’s Fair Fund, together with the names of the 
banks issuing~the certificates,, and the amounts.

TO BOARD OF MANAGERS.

Except in two or three counties where the apportion¬ 
ment was made from County Funds by order of the 
Board of County Commissioners, and in one county 
(Clay) where the amount was paid in cash by the sub¬ 
scribers, joint notes were given and made payable to 
local banks. These notes were accepted by the banks, 
and Demand Certificates issued to the Board of Mana¬ 
gers upon which cash could be drawn at the will of the 
President. Almost without exception the notes were 
drawn to fall due the ist of March, 1893, but before 
that date the appropriation made by the legislature at 
the session of last winter became available, and the out¬ 
standing obligations were canceled with State Funds, 
thus relieving the signers from responsibility. 

So far as Minnesota is concerned the Exposition has 
proved of great value — a value that cannot be measured 
by dollars. In all the great departments at the World’s 
Fair her star shone forth with that brilliancy begotten 
of advanced civilization and intelligent application, and, 
as results prove, was first among the best. It is not 
simply a state covering a large area of territory, but it 
is one of the richest in inherent wealth in the entire 
Union. 

We have eighty counties which produce almost every¬ 
thing, aside from tropical fruits, known to virgin soil. 
The southern and western portions comprise one of the 
richest Agricultural and Stock Raising regions on the 
American continent, while the northern portion pro¬ 
duces a great supply of pine and mixed hardwoods, 
with an iron district which give£ promise of being the 
most productive of any in the world. 

Of the 8,342,695 acres of white pine in the three 
states of the Northwest, Michigan has 2,547,055 acres, 
Wisconsin 4,201,815 acres, and Minnesota 1,773,825 
acres. Of the 12,469,391 acres of standing timber of 
all kinds in the states named above, Michigan has 
4,040,342 acres, Wisconsin 5,407,934 acres, and Minne¬ 
sota 3,021,114.

SUPERINTENDENT’S REPORT 


In 1889 Minnesota had a total area of 6,297,044 acres 
devoted to the cultivation of cereals; in the same year 
Wisconsin had 4,319,002 acres, North Dakota 3,233,993 
acres, South Dakota 3,701,604 acres, Iowa 12,560,890, 
and Kansas 10,574,180 acres. 

By a comparison of figures it will be noted that Iowa 
and Kansas greatly exceed Minnesota in the acreage of 
cereals,, but they have no minerals to speak of, and 
little, if any, timber worthy of note. 

In building stone, granite and jasper, , Minnesota is 
also well supplied. Massachusetts, which has the repu¬ 
tation of being probably the greatest granite state in the 
Union, reports the sale of $2,503,505 of granite in 1889, 
while Minnesota disposed of only $356,780 worth of the 
same commodity. The capacity of the quarries of this 
State, as can be verified, are greatly in excess of the old 
Bay State, and the figures representing the output of 
these two commonwealths demonstrate clearly that 
capital is sadly needed in Minnesota for the develop¬ 
ment of our granite quarries. The impression made 
upon parties from Eastern and Southern States through 
the display of our sand stone, granite, and various 
kinds of brick and pottery clay, has led to many per¬ 
sonal inquiries and investigations, and there is excellent 
reason to believe that fresh impetus will be given these 
various interests and a mart provided for their output 
heretofore unentered. 

In an Educational way Minnesota has no superiors 
and few equals; and if there was anything in the past 
wanting to demonstrate^ this claim the judgment of the 
leading educators of the world has’ furnished the defic¬ 
iency. Our Permanent School Fund is the pride of every 
Minnesotian, and when it is known that it has reached 
the wonderful proportions of $10,000,000, it only re¬ 
mains, as a further demonstration of its greatness, to 
add that its fund is larger than that enjoyed by any 
other two States in the Union with the exception of 
Texas and Kansas, and much larger than either of these 


TO BOARD OF MANAGERS.

taken singly. Our Permanent University Fund is a source 
of no less pride, and it having reached the princely pro¬ 
portions of over $900,000 is exceeded by only a single 
State in the Union - that of California. 

In every department where exhibits found place in 
the great palatial structures, Minnesota was not want¬ 
ing. Plans had been perfected and exhibits prepared 
for lodgment in Agricultural Hall, the Department of 
Mines and Mining, Forestry, Horticultural, Dairy. 
Stock, Educational, Corrections and Charities, Fish, 
and Fisheries, etc., where the very best of the State’s 
products were arranged in the most tasteful manner and 
where all proved a credit to the State and of interest to 
the visitor. 

The Minnesota State Building occupied a very sightly 
location near the Fifty-seventh street entrance to Jack- 
son Park, directly north of the west annex to the Art 
Gallery, and covered a space of 82x92 feet, two stories. 
It is not the purpose of this report, nor would it be fit¬ 
ting if the disposition existed, to unnecessarily elabor¬ 
ate upon our exhibits, or to go into minutia to the 
extent of wearying your patience. It may not, how¬ 
ever, be out of place to draw your attention to the many 
flattering compliments paid the restful air and cheerful 
surroundings found in our State Building. The exhibits 
of Natural History, Pressed Flora in herbarium form, 
Cereal display, the large collection of Indian curios, the 
Relief Map of the city of Duluth, contributed by the 
generous spirited citizens of that municipality,, and 
other features found upon the main floor afforded 
pleasant pastime for those seeking rest, while the 
luxuriant reception parlors on the second floor, with 
their attendant conveniences, were the admiration of 
all who entered the portals of the building. 

I beg to respectfully submit the following table, show¬ 
ing the total amount of money placed at the disposal of 
the various State and Territorial Boards, together with 
the cost of buildings including furniture.

It will be observed from the above tabulate state¬

$ i 2 5>83° to each. It will also be noted that of the 37 
States and Territories having buildings, the total cost of 
same, including furniture, which while not absolutely 
correct, is approximately so, aggregates $1,551,001, an 
average of $41,989.22 each. The State of Florida had a 
building costing $10,000 and Texas one costing $28,000, 
but as they were constructed from private funds no 
accounting is made of them in my table. 






















































TO BOARD OR MANAGERS.

Permit me to call your attention to the fact, also, that 
while Minnesota’s appropriation was somewhat in 
excess of the average of all States and Territories recog¬ 
nized by their legislatures with appropriations from 
public funds, it is quite as noticeable that the cost of 
our handsome and commodious State Building, with its 
interior embellishments in the way of furnishings, toilet 
accommodations, etc,, falls below the average. The 
actual cost of the Minnesota Building and furnishings 
was considerably below the figures I have herein quoted, 
as the Secretary’s report will doubtless show, but I have 
gone to the outside limit, including cost of grading, 
sodding, and otherwise beautifying the grounds, cost 
of walks, repairs, etc., which, while they do not, per¬ 
haps, properly come under this heading, are nevertheless 
included for the purpose of covering all possible con¬ 
tingent expenses surrounding the home which was so 
greatly enjoyed by visitors from Minnesota and their 
friends from other parts of the world. 

A low estimate of resident Minnesotians visiting the 
Exposition during its six months of life and partaking 
of the hospitality, freely and gladly extended, was over 
rather than under 100,000. A close calculation made 
on the number of packages checked in the building dur¬ 
ing this period foots up to a total of 180,000, with the 
loss of only two or three inexpensive garments reported. 
The Postoffice Department and Bureau of Information 
also proved of great value and convenience to our 
people. An average of over 500 letters were written 
and posted in the State Building daily, and this, multi¬ 
plied by 180 days, gives a total of upwards of 90,000 
messages sent forth to families and friends of visitors 
from their local office. It is not too much to say that 
twice or thrice this number of missives were given out 
from the general delivery of our postal department. 
Thousands of visitors who journeyed to the White City 
without pre-arranged plans for quarters during their 
stay were directed to comfortable homes through the 



24 SUPERINTENDENT’S REPORT 

agency of our Bureau of Information, and invariably at 
a saving in cost to those who applied. 

I might go on indefinitely in this report to prove the 
wisdom and foresight of the Commission in adhering 
tenaciously to its determination to give Minnesotians 
the best possible accommodations—a veritable home 
among strangers—during their sojourn to do the sights 
of the world, inconceivably magnificent, bewilderingly 
grand; but for this result full meed of credit will be 
accorded you by the people of the great State you have 
so faithfully, patriotically and unselfishly served, and in 
such recognition you will find partial recompense at 
least for your great sacrifice of time. 


AGRICULTURAL DEPARTHENT. 


AGRICULTURAL EXHIBIT. 

The skill displayed in the construction of Pavilions in 
Agricultural Hall surpasses description. The artistic 
designs wrought in grains and grasses, with colors so 
harmoniously blended as to eclipse in grandeur the pro¬ 
ductions of the artist’s brush, stood as marvels of 
architecture and decorative mastery. The Minnesota 
Pavilion, with its grand columns, imposing arches, 
and elaborate trimmings was equal in symmetry and 
attractiveness to the best, and superior to most. The 
architectural design was by Mr. George Purvis, and 
under his direction and supervision the decorative work 
was executed. The large and massive Central Column, 
octagonal in shape, which formed so conspicuous a part 
in this exhibit, contributed by the Great Northern rail¬ 
way, was also the work of Mr. Purvis, and for the ser¬ 
vices he rendered, as well as for the generous consider¬ 
ation of the railroad officials mentioned, much credit is 
due. This handsome structure, now placed in the main 
building on the State Fair grounds, will ever prove at¬ 
tractive and valuable as showing to the many thousands 
of our people who were unable, from various causes, to 
attend the Exposition, the part their State played in the 
exhibit of its principal products. Mr. Gardner Stevens, 
under whose supervision the Pavilion was taken down 
and re-constructed, did his work with great care and 



26 


SUPERINTENDENT'S REPORT 


credit. The State Agricultural Society, to whose keep¬ 
ing you have confided this handsome structure, will 
doubtless preserve it for many years in all its beauty of 
adornment. 

Agriculture is conceded to be the foundation upon 
which all other industries are builded. Irf'no State is 
this more literally true than in Minnesota, and it is 
gratifying to note in this report that the enviable repu¬ 
tation enjoyed by us in this particular has been empha¬ 
sized and augmented through results attained at the 
Exposition. 

During a brief period in the fall of 1891 and 1892 Mr. 
D. L. Wellman, of Frazee City, was, with your ap¬ 
proval, sent into various counties of the State to secure 
different kinds of cereal in the straw and prepare same 
for exhibition. A goodly quantity of specimens were 
thus gathered, prepared and tasefully arranged in cases 
especially constructed for the purpose, and the illustra¬ 
tion of our products in this manner afforded a thoroughly 
comprehensive idea of the prolificness of our soil in the 
rigorous growth of the samples, coupled with the data 
of seed planted to the acre and the yield returned. 

A great number of circular letters were sent to indi¬ 
vidual farmers asking for contributions of wheat, oats, 
rye, barley, flax, corn, and in fact any and all kinds of 
cereal for exhibition, and through the courtesy of the 
city dailies and the country press requests of a similar 
kind were published. But a lack of interest or seeming 
indifference on the part of our farmers, failed to secure 
but a comparatively few favorable responses, and as a 
result personal visitation by an authorized agent of 
your Honorable Board was necessitated. Mr. Gardner 
Stevens having been selected as Superintendent of the 
Agricultural Department at Chicago, was put into the 
field on the 6th day of March, 1893, and for nearly a 
month gave his entire time to the visitation of farm 
homes in different parts of the state, and through his 
efforts something over j two hundred and twenty-five 


TO BOARD OP MANAGERS. 


27 


samples of cereals were gathered and forwarded to 
Chicago. These, together with those sent by parties 
responding to published notices asking for contributions 
and some that had been gathered by Secretary Cross, 
of the Agricultural society, gave us an aggregate of a 
little less than three hundred samples. 

Prof. Lugger, of the State Experimental Farm, pro¬ 
vided us with a collection of 225 varieties of Grasses, 
which were neatly arranged in small frames, together 
with a collection of soil from nineteen counties, so 
arranged under glass as to show its depth, color and 
texture. The expense of gathering, mounting and pre¬ 
paring these specimens was paid for from State Funds. 
The loan of two cabinets, of insects, superbly mounted, 
by Prof. Lugger, were very attractive and much admired 
and frequently favorably commented upon by scientists. 

Some slight, and to my mind inconsequential, criti¬ 
cisms were made by a few Minnesotians, that the Com¬ 
mission did not provide more elaborate glass bottles or 
jars in which to show our wheat, oats, rye, flax, etc. 
The fact that this Commission was showing the products 
of Minnesota and noi that of some glass works should 
be a sufficient answer to these critics, and the further 
fact that our State took 230 awards on Grains and Seeds, 
or a greater percentage, as compared with entries, than 
any other State in the Union, should satisfy the most 
exacting that “p ro °f of the pudding is in chewing the 
string.” Two or three thousand dollars of State Funds 
could easily have been expended in ornamental glass 
vessels, but this would have been a clear waste of money 
with no advantage accruing either to the exhibit or to 
the exhibitor. In this, as in other matters of expense, 
the Board is to be commended for its strict adherence 
to economy. 

Repeated efforts have been made to get complete 
and reliable list of awards for Minnesota in the various 
departments from the Exposition Management. While 
the subjoined list is perhaps not absolutely correct, I

am advised by the Chairman that it is approximately so, 
and it is submitted for your information.

An award was made to Seth H. Kenny on Amber 
Cane,. Sugar and Syrup, but was omitted from the list 
sent the Superintendent. 

An award was given to the Minnesota Experimental 
Station, St. Anthony Park on exhibits of soil, which 
include the following Counties: Stearns, McLeod, 
Hubbard, Otter Tail, Nobles, Douglass, Clay, Brown, 
Swift, Marshall, Kandiyohi, Mower, Faribault, Pine, 
Mille Laces, St. Louis, Polk, and Lyon. 

The jury awarded a premium to the State of Minne¬ 
sota on the Flax Exhibit collectively instead of follow¬ 
ing out the policy of awarding to individual exhibitors, 
as in the case of wheat, oats, corn, etc. The attention 
of the Chairman of the Executive Committee was called 
to the matter, and he agreed that the correction should 
be made. If the pledge is carried out the following 
will receive individual recognition.

FLOUR EXHIBIT. 


It is entirely in accordance with the fitness of things 
that the greatest Flour producing State in the Union, 
and the quality of which product stands unequaled in 
the World, should take front rank at the World’s Ex¬ 
position. This department of our exhibit, located in 
Southeast Gallery of Agricultural Hall, was put into 
practical and competent hands—Secretary C. McC. 
Reeve, of Minneapolis, and Mr. L. C. Porter, of 
Winona. The first named gentleman sent out circulars 
to every miller in the State, soliciting samples of flour 
for exhibit, and under his direction handsome satin 
sacks with the brand of flour of the mill furnishing the 
sample stamped thereon where provided. The sacks 
were made of various sizes, and the pavilion, designed 
by Mr. Porter, was supplied with shelves to accommo¬ 
date them, and so arranged as to give a most pleasing 
effect and attractive appearance. The Minnesota Flour 
Pavilion was, by odds, the handsomest structure of its 
kind at the Fair. One hundred and fifty-three distinct 
brands of flour were entered and from this number 
awards were given to seventy-three. The awards re¬ 
ceived outnumbered those granted all other exhibitors 
in the United States, combined, and nearly as many as 
those received by all exhibitors—Foreign and American.

MONEY EXHIBIT. 

Mr. A. K. Cooper, Secretary of the Beekeepers As¬ 
sociation, haying been recommended by that organiza¬ 
tion, was selected by this Board to collect and arrange 
for exhibition the Apiary interests of Minnesota That 
Mr. Cooper performed his labors well and satisfactorily, 
the excellent arrangement of the exhibit and the high 
quality of the product secured afford ample proof, and 
his devotion to the work certainly showed a most com¬ 
mendable spirit of State pride. Most, if nor all the 
honey, was secured through personal solicitation. The 
case in which the honey was exhibited was in the ex¬ 
treme East Gallery of Agricultural Hall, and near the 
South side. It was a pine structure, five feet wide 
twenty-five feet long and eleven feet high, with sliding 
glass doors. Several gross of flint glass jars filled with 
extracted honey, neatly labeled, built up in pyramids,

SUPERINTENDENT’S REPORT 


with a large quantity of comb honey and wax tastefully 
arranged, made up the contents of the case, which was 
thoroughly attractive. The product of ’92 and ’93 was 
exhibited, and the state received an award, I under¬ 
stand, although no official information to this effect has 
been received. 

Mr. Cooper desires me to express for him his high 
appreciation for courtesies received at the hands of your 
Honorable Board, and also desires to express thanks 
for assistance to Mrs. J. W. Blackwell, of Alexandria, 
Mr. D. C. Bass, of Hamline, and Mr. Thielman, of 
Thielmanton. 

It may not be inappropriate to here state that the 
Apiary industry of Minnesota is of considerable more 
importance than the average citizen may appreciate. 
A conservative estimate of this industry will place the 
value at fully a quarter a million annually, and it is 
rapidly growing. 


WOOL EXHIBIT. 

Our State was not as elaborately represented in the 
Wool industry as the importance of the product de¬ 
serves; but you have the satisfaction of knowing that 
the exhibit made received an award. Repeated efforts 
were made to enlist the interest of wool growers, but 
without effect. Finally, the North Star Woolen Mills 
of Minneapolis was appealed to and they sent us a 
dozen fleeces from stock, which, while selected without 
regard to cleanliness, size and weight, nevertheless 
proved of superior grade. Most, if not all, of the fleeces 
were from Mr. A. R. Spaulding, of Lake City and after 
the close of the Exposition the entire lot was sold for 18 
cents per pound, on a market where prices ranged from 
14 to 16 cents. The purchasers, Messrs. Silberman 
Bros., said it was the best wool they had purchased in

over a year, and upon solicitation they were furnished 
with the name and address of the producer. 

The wool clip of Minnesota in 1876, Centenial year, 
was 519,762 pounds, while in 1892 it aggregated 1,265,- 
161 pounds.. In I876 the total number of sheep in the 
State, according to statistics, was 170,306, while in 
1892 this number had increased to 359,223. These 
comparative figures show that the sheep industry is to¬ 
day playing no insignificant part in agriculture in 
Minnesota. 


DAIRY EXHIBIT. 

The feature of Agriculture now taking front rank and 
becoming one of the most important adjuncts to suc¬ 
cessful farming in Minnesota is the Dairy. The won¬ 
derful strides made in its development during the past 
few years is not less gratifying than it is remarkable, 
and to show something of the magnitude of the’ Dairy 
Product of the State for 1893, I beg to quote a few 
figures from the Report of the Assistant Dairy Commis¬ 
sioner. He shows that there are now in operation 201 
Creameries which last year produced 18,916,300 pounds 
of butter valued at $3,924,610, while the total value of 
the butter product for the same period is estimated at 
$6,040,000. He also finds that there are 26,000 farmers 
selling milk to Creameries. There are 20 Cheese Fac¬ 
tories in operation which last year produced 2,000,000 
pounds of Cheese valued at $180,000. The Commis¬ 
sioner gives a tabulated estimate of all the Dairy inter¬ 
ests of the State, including milch cows, cost of Cream¬ 
eries Cheese Factories, Separators, and finds a grand 
total in value of $18,850,000. 

What wonder, with such a magnificent showing, that 
Minnesota fared so well in winning premiums on Dairy 
products at the World’s Fair? 

The wisdom exhibited by the Minnesota State Dairy- 



38 


SUPERINTENDENT'S REPORT 


men’s Association in recommending for appointment as 
Superintendent of the Dairy Exhibit at Jackson Park? 
Mr. A. P. McKinstry, and your prompt confirmation of 
his selection, is apparent from results shown. While 
not put actively into the field to work up an interest in 
the Dairy exhibit until the early part of March, Mr. Mc¬ 
Kinstry was fully prepared with a creditable display of 
Butter for the June exhibit, which was the first to take 
place. His practical experience and technical know¬ 
ledge is butter making rendered his services valuable 
alike to the State and to the exhibitors, and through his 
watchfulness of the interests entrusted to his care much 
credit is due for the numerous awards with which exhibi¬ 
tors find themselves possessed. An additional, and by 
no means inconsiderable, encouragement was given to 
our leading butter makers to exhibit their products by 
the liberal action taken by your Honorable Board in 
offering Gold and Silver Medals to those whose exhibits 
should secure the highest score at the Fair. This in¬ 
ducement, says Mr. McKinstry, “gave our State a great 
amount of prominence it would not otherwise have at¬ 
tained, as no other State made their Dairymen a like 
offer.” 

At the conclusion of each period of exhibit—Juhe, 
July,’September and October—Supt. McKinstry sold 
the product sent for competitive examination for the 
highest market price and returned the proceeds to the 
exhibitor. 


Herewith is submitted the names and addresses of

STOCK EXHIBIT. 

Only a few short years ago, Stock raising in Minnesota 
was a thing hardly to be thought of by the agriculturist, 
particularly so as a branch from which any considerable 
profit would ensue. The thirfty farmer of a decade or 
two since would milk a sufficient number of cows with 
which to provide his family with butter, and occasion¬ 
ally furnish a small surplus which the frugal housewife 




TO BOARD OF MANAGERS. 


43 


would sell to secure for herself a little “pin money. ” 
Such a thing as thoroughbred horses or full-blooded 
cattle were “luxuries” not seriously thought of—much 
less indulged in. 

What a wonderful change has been wrought in the 
past twenty years! In 1873 statistics show that the 
total number of milch cows in the State was 155,454, 
while those of 1893 give the number at over 600,000. 
But the increase in number is not the most gratifying 
result of the develovement in this department of Agri¬ 
culture The unprofitable “scrub” has given way to the 
full blood or high grade bovine, and the change in this 
particular has many times increased the profits of the 
dairy beyond the numerical increase noted. So with 
horses. In 1876 we find the total number of horses of 
all ages to have been 182,383, while the assessors’ re¬ 
turns for 1892 give the total as 489,512. It, is safe to 
assume that the attention which is now given to the 
breeding of thoroughbred strains has several times 
multiplied the value of equines as compared with the 
numerical increase, and the same might be said of swine 
and sheep. 

The heart of every Minnesotian must swell with 
pardonable pride as he notes the enviable record made 
by Minnesota stock exhibitors at the World’s Fair. It 
has been demonstrated that Minnesota can, and does 
raise the finest stock in the world. And the proof is 
furnished for this statement in the awarding of prizes 
at the Columbian Exposition. In the annals of the 
world’s history there is not recorded an event where 
such a collection of fine stock was ever gathered for 
competive examination anywhere approaching that 
found in Jackson Park, and the interest of stock breed¬ 
ers everywhere was centered in the outcome. 

The great importance of this exhibit to our State 
early became manifest to your Honorable Board, and 
the method adopted to secure a large representation of 


44 


SUPERINTENDENT'S REPORT 


stock from Minnesota has been approved and your wis¬ 
dom vindicated. 

You gave notice in ample time for the preparation of 
animals, that you would pay freight to Chicago and 
return on all stock accepted by competent’judges, to be 
selected latter, allow for feed and care while on exhibi¬ 
tion, and appropriate the sum of $25 for each head of 
cattle and horses, $15 for swine, and $10 for sheep. 
This inducement at once created an interest among a 
number of breeders, and the result was that when the 
time came for exhibition Minnesota was represented 
with horses and cattle as follows:

PREMIUMS AWARDED. 

The total number of horses and cattle exhibited, as 
per above entries, was 161—a large number than was 
reported by any other State outside of Illinois. No 
better evidence of the superior quality of Minnesota 
stock could be gained than that of competitive exami¬ 
nation with the cream of the world. And what do we 
find? That exclusive of Illinois we received more 
premiums than were accorded any other singe State, and 
it is creditable to Mr. Dunham, the great importer of 
Percheron horses, that he saved the Sucker State from 
ranking second, and preventing Minnesota from heading 
the list both as to entries and premiums. 

Herewith find subjoined the list of premiums granted 
each exhibitor of

Total number Premiums, 59. 

A percentage of premiums of nearly 91, compared 
with the total number of entries, is almost, if not quite 
unprecedented. The further fact that the World stood 
as competitor is a condition worthy of especial con¬ 
sideration. And in this race on Clydesdale horses Mr. 
N. P. Clark beats the World, in that he won first prem¬ 
ium offered by the Clydesdale Horse Society of Great 
Britain and Ireland. Beside this Mr. Clark has, among 
those placed to this credit, two or three first premiums

SUPERINTENDENT’S REPORT 


awarded by the American Clydesdale Association. As 
a Clydesdale breeder, therefore, Mr. Clark stands with¬ 
out an equal on American soil, and Mr. Clark is a Min- 
nesotian. 

The showing of cattle as prize winners, while less 
pronounced than that of horses, was nevertheless ex¬ 
ceptionally good. Following is a list of premiums 
awarded Minnesota

Here we have 57 per cent, of premiums as com¬ 
pared with the total number of entries from the State; 
and in a contest where there were upwards of 2,500 of 
the best cattle ever raised, where each individual head 
was examined by experts upon points of superior ex¬ 
cellence, the result is most gratifying and really unex¬ 
pectedly great. 

Mr. H. F. Brown, of Minneapolis, breeder of Short¬ 
horn cattle, won the World’s first premium, over any 
and all breeds, in that he showed up the best herd of 
five head of owner’s breeding. In this contest there 
were five herds of as fine cattle as ever stood upon feet. 
Thus it is that Minnesota today holds the palm for 
winning the highest prizes at the World’s Fair on horses 
and cattle. Mr. Hugh Paul also won two or three special 
prizes on his Galloways which are not given herein, as 
the Superintendent failed to get the record. 

Messrs. LaDue and Furlong are entitled to special 





















TO BOARD OF MANAGERS. 4T 

mention for the efforts they put forth in securing so 
large a representation of horses and cattle. And they 
are to be especially congratulated upon the good judg¬ 
ment exercised in passing upon the merits of the stock 
before accepting entries, as is sliown by the large num¬ 
ber of premiums awarded. 

Only a single hog, and no sheep, were exhibited 
from the State, and this is to be regretted, for we can 
and do, raise some as fine specimens of both as the 
country can boast. It was impossible to interest those 
of our farmers who give attention to the breeding of 
either to send in entries, and for the failure in this par¬ 
ticular no blame can attach to the Board or any of its 
officers. The single porker exhibited was owned by J. 
I. Bernard, of Pipestone, and it proved to be the larg¬ 
est on exhibition, weighing about 1,200 pounds. Un¬ 
fortunately the long trip and hot weather combined to 
shorten the life of “Columbus.” He lived only a few 
days after reaching Jackson Park, and died before the 
Judges could pass upon his merits as a prize winner. 


POULTRY EXHIBIT. 

Owing to the delay in getting anything definite from 
the Chief in charge of the Poultry Department at Jack- 
son Park as to the rules adopted for the guidance of 
exhibitors, a great falling off in the number of birds 
originally expected from Minnesota resulted. Mr. 
Leslie Parlin, of St. Paul, whom the Board selected to 
superintend this exhibit, worked hard and faithfully to 
enlist interest among our poultry breeders, and so far 
succeeded as to have the promise of over two hundred 
entries. Only a few weeks previous to the opening of 
the show another (there had been two or three previous) 
change was made in the system of entry which so 
far disgusted many intending exhibitors as to cause them 
to withdraw entirely and refuse to have anything to do 



48 


SUPERINTENDENT’S REPORT 


with the affair. This lack of business management on 
the part of the Jackson Park officials cut our represent¬ 
ation down to 136 entries. Under all the trying and 
perplexing obstacles encountered the exhibit may be 
considered good, while the percentage ’bf premiums 
won was flattering indeed.

Number of Birds exhibited, 136. 

Nine first premiums, fourteen second, eight third and 
eight fourth premiums—total of thirty nine—were won. 

The State paid the cost of transportation of the birds 
to Chicago and the entry fee of 25 cents on each fowl. 
The total expense incurred in this department was 
very slight indeed, and the economy practiced by Mr. 
Parlin is commendable alike to his business judgment 
and his patriotic devotion to the interest he repre¬ 
sented. Much of his personal time was given without 
cost to the state

EDUCATIONAL EXHIBIT. 

It may be truly said that the eye is the mirror of 
the soul. Intellect furnishes the lustre and educa¬ 
tion developes the resources of capacity. Education is 
the foundation of the World’s greatness. Upon it the per¬ 
petuity of Nations is founded, and through the School 
must we look for continued advancement. The Free 
School System of America is the greatest among the 
grand achievements of a nation of freemen, and its 
growth and developement is the pride of every true 
patriot, the mainstay of the youth of the land, the most 
sacred inheritance of a united people. 

The World’s Columbian Exposition furnished striking 
object lessons of what is being done in Educational 
matters throughout the civilized world, and more par¬ 
ticularly in America. Representative work from the 
variest Rural school to the highest Academies and 
Universities were comprehensively compiled and ex¬ 
quisitely displayed in the galleries of the Liberal Arts 
building, and the reflex of industry and intelligent con¬ 
ception there observed will stand in history as one of 
the greatest achievements of intellectual architecture 
and worth ever wrought. The proud position occupied 
by Minnesota in this aggregation of School productions, 
is a source of gratification no less than commendation, 
and the generosity of your Honorable Board in the 



50

appropriation of a sufficient sum of money to enable 
those entrusted with its superintendency to carryforward 
the work to a degree so complete and meritorious as to 
win the unstinted praise of all the great educators of 
the country who were privileged to visit' the Fair, is 
proof sufficient that you erred not in judgment, and 
were not lacking in interest in a great cause. 

To show something of the wonderful strides made in 
school matters in Minnesota within the past twelve 
years, I beg to submit the following brief table of

June 8th, 1892, the Executive Committee appointed 
by State Superintendent of Public Instruction, D. L. 
Kiehle, and by your Board confirmed, selected Mr. 
Frank T. Wilson, of Stillwater, as Secretary and Super¬ 
intendent of the Educational Exhibit. 

Preliminary \Vork in the matter of circulars was 
executed during the month of August. These circulars 
advised the various schools of the State as to the 
features of the proposed exhibit. The matter of 
securing photographs to illustrate the Educational 
equipment of the State was decided upon, and, as his 
duties permitted, Mr. Wilson secured several hundred 
photograghic views of all the phases of school work ip 
the State, 
















TO BOARD OF MANAGERS. 


51 


The general outline of a plan for an exhibit was sub¬ 
mitted by Mr. Wilson and approved by this Board, 
which included, among other features: 

First— An individual State Exhibit illustrating Rural 
Schools, City Schools, Normal Schools, Higher Educa¬ 
tion and the Department of Public Instruction. 

Second — A representation by photographs of build¬ 
ings, class rooms and appliances. 

Third— The space to be placed at the disposal of the 
State, to be sub-divided into twelve alcoves. Each 
alcove to be equipped with wing frames, cases, and 
tables for display of the illustrative material. 

The city schools were assigned six alcoves, or one- 
half of the space, classified under the following heads: 

Geography and History, Science and Language, Draw¬ 
ing; Color, Light and Shade; Manual Training; Domestic 
Economy. One alcove was assigned to the Rural 
Schools, four to the Normal Schools, two to Higher 
Education, and one to the Department of Public 
Instruction. This scheme was presented to the teachers 
of the State by circulars and by an address at the Gen¬ 
eral Association. Cordial approval and hearty co-oper¬ 
ation was given by all of the progressive schools of the 
State. 

In order to attain uniformity of appearance the Secre¬ 
tary was authorized to secure suitable materials at the 
lowest possible cost and furnish the same to the various 
schools contributing. About 500 cards, 22x28, for wall 
display, and 300 double cards for wing frames were fur¬ 
nished by the various interests represented. In addition 
there was also contributed 70 portfolios of exercises, as 
well as 100 volumes of bound work. From the larger 
city schools were sent illustrative courses in Manual 
Training, Domestic Economy^ and Drawing. 

In view of the possible consignment of the exhibit 
to the University extra effort was made to have it 
permanent and durable. The collection of photo¬ 
graphs furnished the State wag supplemented by 


52 


SUPERINTENDENT’S REPORT 


various contributions by the different schools. Many of 
these pictures took the form of -large bromides. This 
feature added materially to the effectiveness of the 
exhibit. A large Educational map of the State indi¬ 
cated by appropriate symbols the location of every 
school in the State. This was supplemented by a 
number of brief, concise, statistical charts. 

Superintendent Wilson was requested to prepare a 
dummy of a Souvenir Manual of about ioo pages, and 
to try and get schools represented to contribute plates 
and subscribe for as many copies as possible at the rate 
of $10 per hundred. This plan was heartily received by 
the schools and such cordial co-operation promised, that 
your Board authorized its publication. Every effort 
was made to have this souvenir as creditable as possible, 
and the additional labor entailed upon Superintendent 
Wilson would have discouraged one with less strength 
and determination. Its purpose was to present in con¬ 
cise form the educational advantages of the State, and 
every phase of the educational work of the State was 
represented. Over three hundred photo-engraved views 
indicated the character of buildings, classrooms, lecture 
halls, apparatus and library. The plates illustrating 
school work were contributed by the institution repre¬ 
sented. In addition, subscriptions amounting to over 
$700 were furnished. Over 7,000 copies were distributed 
throughout the State by means of these subscrip¬ 
tions, the balance of an edition of 20,000 copies having 
been given away at Chicago, or sent out by the Depart¬ 
ment of Public Instruction, so that it is safe to say that 
every important Educational institution of this country 
and abroad has been in touch with Minnesota. The 
unqualified commendation received on every hand for 
the Manual promises very much for its usefulness in 
adding to the educational reputation of the State, and 
certainly reflects great credit upon Mr. Wilson for its 
thoroughness and comprehensiveness, 


TO BOARD OF MANAGERS 


53 


That our exhibit was successful is in no small degree 
due to the hearty and cordial co-operation of the various 
schools taking part, and to the generous manner in 
which they have contributed both work and money. The 
total contributions amount to over $2,600; for the Souv¬ 
enir Manual, $1,440, the balance for supplies, photo¬ 
graphs and fixtures. 

The contributors are as follows: Department of Pub¬

EXHIBIT OF SCHOOL FOR FEEBLE-MINDED. 

In the gallery of Section A, Nos. 10 and ij, of Manu¬ 
factures and Liberal Arts Building the Minnesota 
School for Feeble-Minded at Faribault exhibited a line 
of pupil’s work and a full set of views of the various 
departments of the Institution, in connection with 
similar exhibits from twelve other schools for feeble¬ 
minded in this country. 

The pupils’ work was arranged to illustrate: 

First, Kindergartening, by specimens of braiding, 
weaving, sewing, coloring, etc. 

Second, Manual training by mounts of sewing, torchon 
lace, scroll work, repousse, crocheting, knitting, and 
brush work, arranged each to show the progressive 
steps of the process. 

Third, Literary work, by specimen mounts of writ¬ 
ing, composition, numbers work, map and crayon 
drawing. 

Fourth, Industrial employment, by finished garments, 
torchon lace, various kinds of fancy work by the girls, 
and a line of brushes and scroll work from the boys’ 
shop. 

All of this was strictly pupils’ work, illustrating the 



56 


SUPERINTENDENT'S REPORT 


methods and products of the regular school training, 
and all completed under the direction and care of the 
teacher. 

A very handsome ebony mantel was^ shown for the 
purpose of displaying repousse work of pupils as panel 
trimmings. A windmill constructed of bushes attracted 
considerable attention. 

Five mounts were devoted to the portraits and histor¬ 
ies of a number of representative pupils of the school 
showing the improvements realized. One mount of 
portraits illustrated various types of children in the 
Institution. 

The school received an award for the character of the 
work exhibited, and in many particulars it was superior 
to anything shown from institutions of like character. 

The exhibit was arranged by and under the direct 
supervision of Dr. A. C. Rogers, Superintendent of the 
School, and special good taste was displayed in its 
arrangement. 


AWARDS TO WOMEN. 

In addition to the awards already enumerated in the 
Liberal Arts Department, exhibits under the supervision 
of the Women’s Auxiliary Board of Minnesota received 
generous consideration. Following is a list of the suc¬ 
cessful exhibitors:

In this connection I beg to recognize the valuable 
work of the women of Minnesota in assisting to bring 
our State forward at the Exposition in the depart¬ 
ment president over by the Women’s National Board. 

. Those to whom details were entrusted performed their 
labors with a will, and at a great sacrifice of time and 
no small outlay of money. The Superintendent per¬ 
sonally feels under obligations for much valuable as¬ 
sistance both in the securing of loans and the arrange¬ 
ment of exhibits in the State building. His sentiments 
of grateful appreciation are therefore extended to the 
ladies through your Honorable Board. 


FORESTRY DEPARTHENT. 


FORESTRY EXHIBIT. 

The selection of Mr. J. O. Barrett, Secretary of the 
Minnesota Forestry Association, as Superintendent of 
our Forestry Exhibit at the World’s Fair, was a judi¬ 
cious choice, and he was ably seconded in his work by 
Mr. C. L. Smith, assistant. 

In making a selection of the various specimens of 
timber for which the State is noted, Mr. Barrett found 
that nothing practical could be secured through corres¬ 
pondence, and the result was that personal efforts 
were demanded. In the autumn of 1892. Mr. C. L. 
Smith set about procuring leaves, wild shrubs, flowers, 
vines and mosses in the vicinity of Minnetonka Lake 
and in the Valley of the Minnesota River. These, with 
other like specimens gathered by Mr. Barrett in the 
Northern or timber region of the State, were carefuly 
arranged and safely stored for shipment to Chicago at 
the proper time. 

The typical tree trunks—nine in number—asked for 
by the Columbian Exposition officials, to go into the 
construction of the Grand Collonade of the Forestry 
Building, were gathered in Kenabec and Pine counties 
and shipped to Jackson Park the first part of April, 1892. 
The main body of the log sections used in the State 
Exhibit was secured in Aitkin and Carlton counties by 



59 






TO BOARD OF MANAGERS. 

Mr. Barrett, with a few specially desirable specimens 
found in Hennepin, Fillmore and other southern 
counties. The summary consisted of White, Norway 
and Jack* Pines, White and Black Spruce, Tamarac, 
Hard and Soft Maple, White and Large Toothed 
Poplar, White and Yellow Birch, White, Red, Black, 
Scarlet and Bur Oak, White and Black Willow, Black 
and Red Cherry, Hackberry, White, Black, and Green 
Ash, Balm of Gilead, Cottonwood, Box Elder, White, 
Red, and Rock Elm, Basswood, White and Red Cedar, 
Fir Balsam, Diamond Willow, Sumac, Black Alder, and 
other varieties not necessary to enumerate. These 
specimens were cut at different angles, polished, and 
afterwards varnished. A great deal of time was re¬ 
quired and no little expense incurred in arranging a dry 
kiln wherein these log specimens were anchored and 
seasoned. 

Probablj^the most conspicuous and attractive feature 
of the exhibit was the commercial and ornamental 
specimens of highly finished pillars, boards and planks 
ranged along the west border line of the pavilion. The 
smaller specimens were equally beautiful, and to the 
student were quite as attractive. Pictures of woodlands 
and photographic views of lakes and some of our 
lumbering operations served a good purpose by way of 
illustration. 

The Lumber interests of Minnesota employed 17,472 
men in 1892, and cut 1,250,000.000 feet. In shingles 
the cut was 500,000,000, and in lath 590,000,000. As 
compared with 1887, the increased output has nearly 
doubled in the five years intervening. 

The exhibit as a whole was creditable alike to the 
Board and the State; and the gentlemen to whose hands 
were entrusted the work of collecting and arranging the 
display ane to be congratulated. Under Mr. Barrett’s 
supervision the exhibit has been reconstructed in the 
Main Building on the State Fair Grounds precisely as it 


60 


SUPERINTENDENT'S REPORT 


appeared at the World’s Fair. The Forestry Associa¬ 
tion, to whose future care your Honorable Board has 
entrusted this exhibit, gives promise that it will receive 
every attention, and that it will be preserved intact. 

The Jury of Awards in passing judgment’on the For¬ 
estry Exhibit give the following 

POINTS OF EXCELLENCE. 

1. For a neat and artistic presentation of the forest resources of 
the State, showing the variety and the growth, both the native and 
the planted trees, and giving information on the samples of the actual 
age, together with name, extent, uses, etc., by printed labels, also 
statistics of extent of growth and utilization. 

2. For showing the utilization of the \voods of the State by 
numerous well manufactured samples of various timber trees, in 
flooring, siding, mouldings, brackets, panels, planks and furniture, 
showing the natural wood finish and the uses of the products of the 
State. 

3. For a graphic presentation of the manner of foresting the 
prairie sections of the State, showing by drawings and maps the 
method of planting wind breaks around farms, fields and buildings, 
utilizing the growing trees for protection against storms and at the 
same time providing convenient supply of wood material of more 
or less value, according to the extent, age, etc., of the plantation. 

4. For valuable forestry literature, giving elaborate enumeration 
of the useful woods of the State, together with statistics of the lum¬ 
bering industries, forest areas and methods by which the forests can 
be conserved and such industries promoted. 


HORTICULTURAL DEPARTMENT. 


HORTICULTURAL EXHIBIT. 

Through the personal efforts of Mr. A. W. Latham, 
selected by your board as Superintendent on the recom¬ 
mendation of the Minnesota State Horticultural Society, 
and the co-operation of that Society, the Horticultural 
Exhibit was a most gratifying success. The amount of 
money—$5,000—placed as the maximum figure for the 
exhibit and its maintenance was used judiciously, and 
the Secretary’s report will show a small balance un¬ 
expended. Our exhibit of fruit was a surprise to people 
residing in Eastern and Southern States, whose ignor¬ 
ance of the resources of Minnesota was the best evidence 
of the value of such a display, and the prevailing idea 
that our climate was too rigorous and the seasons too 
short to grow any kind of fruit successfully was com¬ 
pletely and effectualy dissipated. 

The exhibit was installed in a space forty feet long 
by fifteen feet wide, and the structure covering this area 
was the handsomest of any displayed. At either end 
were revolving tables, having each five concentric 
shelves. These tables were turned by an electric motor 
placed midway between them under the structure. 
Along the entire front were placed refrigerator cases 
with double glazed covers, containing five rows of 
shelves, used for the display of the fruit kept over 



62 


SUPERINTENDENT'S REPORT 


winter and also of the small fruits shown fresh as they 
ripened. These refrigerators were cooled by an ice box 
extending the whole length behind them, and of suffi¬ 
cient dimensions to contain a ton of ice and $till have a 
large space for storage purposes. Behind the refriger¬ 
ator cases and above the ice box were five other shelves, 
these also extending around the two ends of the struc¬ 
ture. Above the shelves were placed plate glass mirrors, 
hinged so as to swing back at an angle to reflect the 
fruit on the shelves below, apparently doubling the size 
of the exhibit. Behind the shelving and ice box were a 
storeroom and office of generous dimensions, occupying 
the whole interior of tlie structure, and above the office 
was a balcony reached by a stairway from the interior, 
furnishing a convenient reception room to visitors. Its 
beauty, adaptability and originality so far impressed the 
judges as to receive an award, which was the only 
structure in Horticultural Hall that was thus recognized. 

The shelves and revolving tables were filled with a 
full line of small fruit put up in glass jars, and through¬ 
out the season fresh fruit, consisting of strawberries, 
raspberries, blackberries, grapes, plums, apples, etc., 
were shown in abundance, and of such size and varie¬ 
ties as to call forth many flattering compliments. 

On the apple crop of 1892, which was shipped to 
Chicago and kept in cold storage until the time for ex¬ 
hibit should arrive, the State received an award. 

To give the names of exhibitors with a complete list 
of the names and varieties of fruit sent, would be too 
burdensome for this report, hence I attach herewith the 
names simply of exhibitors as furnished by Superintend¬ 
ed Latham, together with the kind of fruit contributed.

First, Apples, crop of 1892. Second, on the struc¬ 
ture. Third, Raspberries, crop of 1893. Fourth, 
Apples, crop of 1893. Fifth, Plums, crop of 1893. 
Sixth, Grapes, crop of 1893. 

The policy of the Committee on Awards in the Horti¬ 
cultural Department was to ignore individual exhibitors 
unless their exhibits included a large number of varie¬ 
ties, which number was arbitrarily fixed in the different 
classes of fruits, and was not known to the Superintend¬ 
ents of Exhibits. The contributors to'the various ex¬ 
hibits in the Pomological Department were numbered 
by the thousands, and the alleged impossibility of mak¬ 
ing awards to all is given as the reason for placing the 
limit so high. This course was contrary to the informa¬ 
tion given out at the Department of Awards early in the 
season, and upon the strength of which circular letters 
were sent out inviting exhibits of fruit. Many re¬ 
sponded to this invitation, and no doubt the change of 
policy will be the cause of some disappointment. 

By your direction the Horticultural .exhibition struc¬ 
ture has passed into the hands of the Horticultural 
Society, and under the supervision of Mr. Latham has 
been reconstructed in all its beauty in Agricultural Hall 
at the State Fair Grounds. 

For his untiring devotion to the interest intrusted to 
his care Superintendent Latham is entitled to much 
credit, and so also is Mr. W L. Parker, of Farmington, 
who so ably assisted him during a greater portion of the 
Exposition. The exhibit was in every sense a credit to 
the State; and to those who so generously contributed 
of their products to make it complete, a word of recog¬ 
nition and thanks is due. 


MINES AND MINING DEPARTflENT. 


MINERAL EXHIBIT. 

As an iron ore producing State Minnesota today 
stands without a peer. The recent wonderful develop¬ 
ment of the Mesaba range, coupled with the well known 
deposits found on Vermilion range, has set at rest any 
question as to the great hidden wealth lying at the head 
of Lake Superior. A wise provision in our State law 
will be worth many millions of dollars to the State 
treasury, for under its provision mineral lands can oniy 
be leased, thus affording a constant income from the 
products of the mines. The payment of $25 is required 
on all leases, while a contract requires the payment of 
$100. February 1st, 1893, there had been executed 
1,664 leases and 312 contracts. Add to this the taxation 
of capitalized charter companies, and it will be seen 
that the sum already realized from the leasing of State 
lands for mining purposes has been the source of no 
small revenue. Now that the mines are to be extensively 
worked, the tax of one cent per ton 'for the output of 
all ores will yield an annual income which can at this 
time be only problematically estimated. It is however, 
safe to say that the annual receipts from royalties will 
not fall short of a quarter of a million dollars. The, 
total direct income to the State in 1892 from royalties, 
leases, contracts, etc., amounted to $184,528 and at that 
time only 4,245 tons of ore were mined on the Mesaba 
range, while the prospects for 1894, lead us to believe 
that the output from the range will overrun a million tons.

The presentation of our iron ore interests at the 
World’s Fair, having been preceded by the widely ad¬ 
vertised fact of the wonderful discoveries of ore deposits 
made only a few months previous, caused a great deal 
of interest in the exhibit among practical miners and 
iron workers. The judges selected to pass upon the mer¬ 
its of exhibits in the Department of Mines and Mining 
were thoroughly practical men, and to say that every 
mine represented from this State was awarded a prem¬ 
ium for the excellence of its product, renders comment 
superfluous. 

The judges in awarding premiums to the mines enu¬ 
merated below, say in their report: 

General exhibit of Bessemer iron ores from the Mesaba Range 
consists of an instructive collection of Bessemer iron ores from the 
celebrated Mesaba Range, each of the twenty-one mines exhibiting 
represented by ores in glass case (on stand) 18x24 inches, with 
accompanying analysis, which analysis corresponds substantially 
with that given in the state geological report. This exhibit deserves 
award. 

First, For the uniform high grade and purity of the ores exhibited 
and for instructive collection of photographs of the mines, shipping 
docks, etc. 

Second, For the importance of the great deposits represented as a 
future source of supply of high grade Bessemer ore. 

Third, For the instructive arrangement of the exhibit and the 
value of the information imparted.

National Commissioner H. B. Moore gave much time 
and attention to the architectural design of our booth in 
this department, and rendered invaluable service in 
making the exhibit complete, instructive and attractive. 
The generous contributions of ores by the mine owners 
of the Vermillion and Mesaba ranges saved no small ex¬ 
pense to the state, and recognition for their generosity 
is due. And especially are we indebted to the Minne¬ 
sota and Chandler Iron Companies for the magnificent 
contributions they made in the way of maps illustrative 
of working mines and for the unique model of a working 
mine. With the exception of these last named features, 
our entire exhibit has been turned over to the State 
University in accordance with your directions. 

Capt. E. Morcom, of Tower, whose services this 
Board secured to superintend the mineral exhibit, being 
a practical miner and thorough gentleman, rendered the 
State valuable service in many ways, and for his careful 
watching after all interests entrusted to his care only 
praise is due. 


ANTHROPOLOGICAL BUILDING. 


EXHIBITS OF CHARITIES AND CORRECTIONS.

STATE’S PRISON EXHIBIT. 

The State’s Prison at Stillwater exhibited a glass case 
5x8 feet, containing the samples of manufactured articles 






























72 


SUPERINTENDENTS REPORT 


produced on State account, consisting of hemp binder 
twine in a finished condition, and crude fiber under 
different stages of manufacture, also samples of tubs and 
pails, and three doll figures about ten inches long dressed 
in grade uniforms, representing the three grades of pris¬ 
oners as they are classified in this prison. 

The amount of articles manufactured on State account 
is about as follows: Total amount of hemp binding 
twine 3,139,000 pounds. Of this amount there has been 
sold 1,573,000 pounds, valued at about $132,600.00. 
Manufactured stock now on hand for future sales is about 
1,600,00 pounds, and will reach above 2,000,000 pounds 
by the opening up of the twine season. 

The manufacture of tubs and pails has been sus¬ 
pended. The total product previous to suspension 
was valued at about $36,000. There is now no mer¬ 
chantable stock on hand. 

Under the contract system of convict labor the aver¬ 
age annual value of threshing machines, traction 
engines, etc., manufactured within the prison walls is 
estimated at about $1,000,000. 


BOARD OF HEALTH EXHIBIT. 

The State Board of Health made an exhibit in the 
Department of Hygiene and Sanitation occupying 
about 16x16 feet of floor space near Massachusetts and 
other State Boards. The exhibit was prepared, includ¬ 
ing the walls of the enclosure^ at Red Wing, under the 
supervision of Dr. Charles N. Hewitt, Secretary of the 
Board. It was sent, put up, exhibited till the end, and 
returned to Red Wing, and was paid for out of the funds 
of the Health Board. No aid, in any way, was asked 
or received from the Board of Managers of the State 
exhibit. 

The exhibit was a practical one illustrative of the 
methods for collecting, recording and using, every 
month, the returns of births and deaths; methods of

controlling or suppressing infectious diseases of men 
and domestic animals by notification, isolation, disinfec¬ 
tion, etc. The Board also made an exhibit of its 
Vaccine methods and results, and of its large variety of 
circulars and memoranda upon public health matters. 

The exhibit as a while impressed those for whom it 
was intended, the working Health Officers of the 
country, and sustained the high position among State 
Boards of Health which the Minnesota Boad has had 
the food fortune to have secured. 


TURKISH BATH EXHIBIT. 

Mrs. E. R. Mendenhall, of Duluth, through the 
Woman’s Auxiliary Board of Minnesota, had a complete 
Turkish Bath room fitted up with all modern tubs and 
appliances, and gave practical demonstration of how the 
home might be supplied with such at slight cost. In 
the matter of sanitation Mrs. Mendenhall is thoroughly 
well versed, and as ‘‘Cleanliness is next to Godliness .’’ 
her efforts to improve mankind in this particular is most 
commendable. The lady gave freely of her time and 
energies, and has won deserved recognition from this 
Board. 



FISHERY DEPARTHENT. 


GAME AND FISH EXHIBIT. 

In the Northeast corner of the west wing of the Fish 
and Fishery building, Minnesota was represented with 
an exhibit of mounted specimens of Fish which abound 
so plentifully in our many lakes, together with a goodly 
number of fine specimens of game birds. 

The exhibit, by your direction, was prepared by Dr. 
R. O. Sweeney, of Duluth, and the handsome glass 
cases in which the specimens were shown were built un¬ 
der his direction and shipped to Chicago. 

To enumerate the two hundred and more specimens 
and varieties of fish, with half as many varieties of game 
birds would be unnecessary to your purpose, and a need¬ 
less lengthening of this report. Suffice it is to say that for 
the small outlay of money involved in its preparation and 
care, the exhibit was certainly creditable. Photographic 
views of lakes, fishing scenes, hatchery, etc., added to 
the embellishments. The entire exhibit having by your 
Board been given over to the care of the State Game 
and Fish Commission, ,Mr. Andrus, at the' close of the 
Exposition, packed everything carefully and shipped 
same to the State Fish Hatchery, where it has been re¬ 
established in most excellent .shape. To the exhibit 
already owned by the State this valuable acquisition has 
added much, and that it will be carefully cared for and 
improved goes without saying. 

The exhibit was awarded, in the name of the State of 
•Minnesota, as follows: 



TO BOARD OF MANAGBRS. 


75 


First —Mounted specimens of fishes, photograph of fishes, mount¬ 
ed specimens of birds, pencil sketches of fishing grounds, photographs 
of fishing grounds. 

Second —Photographs of boats. 

Third —Photographs of angling. 

Fourth —Photographs and pen drawings,of fish hatchery, etc.

sota State building divided same as follows, and your 
Superintendent immediately shipped the articles to the 
respective institutions:

CONCLUSION. 


I apprehend.I owe the Board an apology for the length 
of this report, but to have condensed it to any appreci¬ 
able extent beyond what it is would have been to exclude 
some comparative statements which I felt could proper¬ 
ly be embodied and thereby lend something of value as 
showing the resultant benefits to our State growing out 
of the Exposition, as well as the progress made in de¬ 
velopment of the State’s resources during the past few 
years. If, therefore, there has been an error in judg¬ 
ment in the liberty taken, kindly consider apologies 
made and pardon asked. 

As our official relations are at an end, I beg to express 
my grateful appreciation to all with whom I have been 
associated in the work of Exposition affairs. The de- 
parmental Superintendents for their uniform kindness 
and forbearance. The employees in the State building 
for their devotion to duty and kind consideration of my 
shortcomings. The newspaper editors of the State, 
whose services were invaluable in the successful prose¬ 
cution of the work. And especially to the members of 
this Board who have so kindly upheld my hand and did 
whatever was possible to lighten the burdens of my po¬ 
sition. While ready to admit that I many times erred 
in judgment and failed in execution, I nevertheless retire 
with a self-satisfied conscience that whatever has been 
done was with the best of motives—always aiming to so 
discharge the duties devolving upon the office as to pro¬ 
tect you from humiliation and myself against public 
condemnation. In all matters I have studiously endeav¬ 
ored to evade the seeming usurpation of unauthorized 


xo 


SUPERINTENDENT'S REPORT 


powers, and have ever striven to give credit where 
credit is due. 

How well I may have succeeded in the execution of 
my aim is left for yourselves and the public to judge. 
Respectfully submitted, 



Superintendent State )£j;bUMt. 




SECRETARY’S REPORT. 


The Board of World’s Fair Managers of the State of 
Minnesota was created by an Act of the Legislature ap¬ 
proved April 2oth‘, 1891, which provided for the ap¬ 
pointment of “six citizens to be selected equally from 
each of the political parties.” The Governor and the 
members of the National Commission were to be ex- 
officio members of the Board. Section three of the Act 
prohibited the payment of any compensation to the 
members for their “services, expenses or transporta¬ 
tion,” while section eight appropriated Fifty Thousand 
Dollars ($50,000.00) for a “complete and creditable rep¬ 
resentation of the State at the World’s Columbian Ex¬ 
position,” but forbade the use of any portion of the 
money so appropriated for the erection of a State build¬ 
ing. 

Hon. Wm. R. Merriam, then Governor, who had been 
a firm friend of the measure from the day of its intro¬ 
duction in the Legislature, despite the captious opposi¬ 
tion of certain members, on May 1st, 1891, appointed 
the following citizens as members of the Board: 

Republicans: D. A. Monfort, St. Paul; Geo. N. 

Lamphere, Moorhead. 

Democrats: C. McC. Reeve, Minneapolis; A. L. 

Ward, Fairmont. 



SECRETARY’S REPORT 


82 


Farmers’ Alliance: Jay LaDue, Luverne; J. J. Fur¬ 
long, Austin. 

On the 19th of May, 1891, the Board organized by 
the election of the following officers: 

D. A. Monfort, President: Jay LaDue, Vice Presi¬ 
dent; C. McC. Reeve, Secretary; J. J. Furlong, treas¬ 
urer. 

It was early apparent, not only to the members of 
the Board, but also to every thinking citizen of the 
State, that the appropriation of Fifty Thousand Dollars 
was totally inadequate for the purpose contemplated, 
and the first effort of the Board was directed toward the 
devising of some means by which this amount should 
be increased to at least One Hundred and Fifty Thous¬ 
and Dollars. 

The provision of the bill prohibiting the erection of a 
building at Jackson Park met with general and almost 
universal condemnation throughout the State, and the 
Commissioners,being thus early convinced of the neces¬ 
sity of a suitable State building, on the 28th of June, 
1891, visited Chicago, and, after inspecting the very 
favorable site which had been secured by the late Com¬ 
missioner Harrison, decided on the erection of a build¬ 
ing from plans made by a Minnesota architect, the same 
to be paid for out of the additional fund, which it was 
then decided should be raised. Accordingly, on the 
17th of July a circular was issued to the Boards of 
Trade, Chambers of Commerce, City and Village Coun¬ 
cils throughout the State, and where there was no such 
organized bodies,to the County Commissioners,request¬ 
ing the appointment of two delegates to a convention to 
be held in St. Paul August 13th, to take into considera¬ 
tion the best plan of raising an additional amount for 
the use of the Commission. At this same meeting L. 
P. Hunt, of Mankato, was unanimously elected Super- 


TO BOARD OF MANAGERS. 


83 


intendent to take charge of collecting and installing the 
exhibits of the State. 

On the 13th of August, in response to the call issued 
by the Board, a meeting of delegates was held in the 
State Capitol, which called out a general discussion of 
the situation. The sentiment of the convention was 
overwhelmingly in favor of raising an additional sum 
of a hundred thousand dollars, and the Board accord¬ 
ingly decided, September nth, in favor of a plan by 
which this sum should be apportioned among the differ¬ 
ent counties of the State in proportion to their assessed 
valuation of real and personal property. To raise 
$100,000 would require a rate of about 17-100 of one 
mill on a dollar. 

Superintendent Hunt immediately entered upon the 
arduous task of obtaining subscriptions to this fund in 
each county for its proportion. The obstacles and 
objections with which he was confronted, the length of 
time he was compelled to give to this work, and the 
success which crowned his efforts properly belong to his 
report. 

Although no regular meeting of the Commission was 
held between September nth, 1891, and March 10th, 
1892, the members of the Commission were actively 
engaged in doing what they could to forward the work 
of raising the additional hundred thousand dollars as 
well as attending to such details of the work as were 
necessary. 

At about this period the Board were called on to 
mourn the loss of National Commissioner M. B. Harri¬ 
son, who had always been a most earnest and en¬ 
thusiastic worker, and whose loss was deeply regretted 
by all. His place was filled by the appointment of H. 
B. Moore, of Duluth. 

On the 25th of , February, 1892, the women of the 


84 


SECRETARY’S REPORT 


State interested in World’s Fair work perfected an or¬ 
ganization known as the “Woman’s Auxiliary Board,” 
and took charge of the department of women’s work in 
the State. 

The general plan of the exhibit having been mapped 
out by this time, the following persons were’named by 
the Board to have charge of collecting and preparing 
the various exhibits under the general supervision of 
the Commission: Forestry, J. O. Barrett; Education, 
F. T. Wilson; Horticulture, A. W. Latham ; Dairy, A. 
P. McKinstry ; Fish and Fisheries, R. O. Sweeney; 
Mines and Mining, National Commissioner H. B. 
Moore ; Live Stock interests, Commissioners Reeve, 
LaDue and Ward; the Bee industry, State Apiary Asso¬ 
ciation ; Poultry Exhibit, State Poultry Association ; 
Agricultural interests, State Agrictural Society. 

The architects of the State having complied with the 
request to submit competitive plans for a State build¬ 
ing, all of which plans were referred to a committee 
specially appointed for the purpose, on May 4th, 1892, 
that committee reported in favor of the plans submitted 
by W. C. Whitney, which were formally adopted, and 
contract entered into for the construction of the build¬ 
ing as therein provided. 

Under the direction of a committee of the Board a 
fine and complete collection of the wild birds and mam¬ 
mals of the State of Minnesota was obtained for exhibi¬ 
tion without the necessity of purchasing same. 

In July the Board made preliminary appropriations 
for the different industries and interests of the State, 
and also authorized the publication of a pamphlet de¬ 
scriptive of the State’s resources in an edition of not 
less than fifty thousand copies for distribution during 
the Fair. In addition to this pamphlet, which was 
edited by Messrs. J. G. Pyle and Conde Hamlin, of the 


TO BOARD OF MANAGERS. 


85 


Pioneer Press, to the entire satisfaction of the Board, a 
forestry pamphlet of 10,000 copies under the direction 
of the State Forestry Association, was also prepared 
and published, and also a souvenir manual, 20,000 
copies, of the educational interests of the State, the 
latter profusely illustrated, which was universally 
acknowledged to be one of the handsomest publications 
issued by any of the State or Foreign commissions dur¬ 
ing the Fair. In September, 1892, the work of obtain¬ 
ing subscriptions to the extra fund had been so far suc¬ 
cessful that Superintendent Hunt reported that he had 
received from three-quarters of the counties in the State 
their pro rata subscriptions in cash, and the money so 
raised was ordered to be turned over from local banks in 
which it was deposited, to the President of the Commis¬ 
sion, who was by resolution made Treasurer of the Sub¬ 
scription Fund. 

During all this period, printed matter in enormous 
quantities was being constantly sent out to the news¬ 
papers as well as to individuals throughout the State 
for the purpose of creating additional interest in the 
work which the Board had undertaken. 

The Board were sorry not to be able to take to Chicago 
as a part of the State exhibit a band of Chippewas, but 
after carefully considering this matter the expense was 
found to be so great that it was reluctantly abandoned. 

All efforts of the Board to obtain any of the celebrated 
paintings in the private galleries of the State for exhi¬ 
bition in the loan collection were unsuccessful, the 
owners very properly declining to allow the pictures to 
go out of their homes, feeling that any injury to them 
would be irreparable. 

In the session of the legislature, 1892-3, the import¬ 
ance of the great Fair at Chicago having become mani¬ 
fest to all, an additional appropriation of $100,000 was 


86 


SECRETARY'S REPORT 


made, and, the bill having become a law, in March, 
1893, the various amounts advanced by corporations and 
individuals towajrd the subscription fund were repaid to 
the parties making such advances. 

Early in the spring of 1893 the Agricultural exhibit 
was placed under the charge of Gardner Stevens. 

The exhibits in the different departments having been 
practically collected, no time was lost in shipping them 
to Chicago. It may not be amiss to say here that the 
exhibits of the State of Minnesota were among the very 
first installed, and the last exhibit was in its place before 
those of some of the other states and countries had ever 
been unpacked. 

A collective flour exhibit was not contemplated until 
shortly before the opening of the Fair, but it having 
seemed wise to the Board to make an exhibit of one of 
the principal industries of the State, a circular was 
issued to all the millers earnestly r; questing their co¬ 
operation in making such an exhibit. Mr. L. C. Por¬ 
ter, of Winona, having consented to take charge of the 
same, it was placed in his hands. The tasty flour booth 
filled with the beautiful silk and satin sacks of flour, 
representing the product of almost all the mills of the 
State, will be remembered with pleasure and pride by 
all who saw it. 

The arrangement of the minor details, with the proper 
installation and care of the exhibits in Chicago, the or¬ 
ganization of the corps of assistants in the State build¬ 
ing, and the thousand other details necessary for the suc¬ 
cessful prosecution of the work on the part of the State, 
necessarily involved a great amount of time on the part 
of the various committees of the Board to whom this 
work was intrusted. Applications for positions within 
the gift of the Board were almost numberless, and while 
some mistakes were doubtless made by the Board

\ 

in selecting persons to perform various duties in Chica¬ 
go, it is true that as a rule the work performed by such 
persons was performed in a more satisfactory manner 
and at a less expense than similar services rendered to 
any other Board or Commission. 

In addition to the constant attendance of the Super¬ 
intendent, who was absent from his post only a few 
days during the entire continuance of the Fair, and 
then only on account of sickness, the members of the 
Board were able to arrange their private business affairs 
so that one or more of them were on duty during the 
greater part of the six months. Certain members of the 
Woman’s Auxiliary Board were also in attendance at 
the State building. 

The donations of articles for use in the State building 
were fewer in number than would ordinarily have been 
expected. Among such donations, however, should be 
mentioned the use of the furniture for the ladies’ rooms 
by the Bradstreet-Thurber Company of Minneapolis, 
the use of the Mehlin piano by the Century Piano Com¬ 
pany of Minneapolis, the use of a number of exquisite 
pieces of bric-a-brac by the New England Furniture & 
Carpet Company of Minneapolis, the donation of shades 
for the entire building by the Northern Shade Company 
of St. Anthony Park, the gift of a fine upright grand 
piano by Geo. P. Bent of Chicago, Ill., the use of two 
Remington typewriters by Wyckoff, Seamans & Bene¬ 
dict, the gift of a handsome stone fountain by the city 
of Mankato. There were, however, many individual 
exhibits which were donated, and which added very 
materially to the beauty and completeness of the various 
departments. 

A description of the ceremonies of Minnesota Day, 
Oct. 13th, have, by resolution of the Board, been pub¬ 
lished in a separate report. Regarding Minnesota Day, 


88 


SECRETARY'S REPORT 


it is sufficient to say that the speeches delivered by her 
distinguished citizens on that occasion were unanimously 
admitted to be among the very best of the many notable 
addresses of the Exposition. 

The success of Minnesota’s exhibits in the various 
departments can best be measured by the number of 
awards she received in comparison with the number of 
entries male, which will be found in detail, together 
with the names of the successful exhibitors, in the re¬ 
port of the Superintendent.. 

To the Press of the State, with a few notable excep¬ 
tions, is justly due the thanks of the Commission for 
the hearty co-operation so generously accorded on all 
occasions. The columns of matter published gratuit¬ 
ously by the journals of the State at the request of the 
Board would, if paid for at regular rates, have amounted 
to thousands of dollars, and the kindly support ac¬ 
corded the Commission had no little effect in encourag¬ 
ing its members in the prosecution of a work which had 
no possible reward except the satisfaction of duty faith¬ 
fully performed. # 

From the organization of the Board down to the close 
of its labors every expenditure has been most closely 
scanned, and while the economy of the Board may in 
some instances have partaken somewhat of penurious¬ 
ness, it is with no small degree of satisfaction that the 
work undertaken has been accomplished, and success¬ 
fully accomplished, without exceeding the amount ap¬ 
propriated by the State. 

As the Fair drew to a close it became a problem as to 
what disposition should be made of the State building, 
the various exhibits, and the articles purchased for use 
in and about the building, which formed no inconsider 
able item of total expense. One condition under which 
all buildings were erected in Jackson Park required the

removal of the same within a certain time after the close 
of the Exposition without cost to the Park Commission¬ 
ers ; the grounds to be left in a condition suitable for park 
purposes. The temporary nature of the structures, be¬ 
ing built largely of would and covered with staff and hav¬ 
ing no permanent foundations, the impossibility of moving 
them from the grounds on to any adjacent property, and 
the enormous cost involved in carrying the debris to a 
point distant some two miles from the grounds, made it 
extremely probable that the different Boards would not 
only be unable to obtain anything for their buildings, 
but would doubtless in many instances be required to 
pay something for their destruction and removal. From 
the peculiarly favorable location of the Minnesota build¬ 
ing, as well as its fitness for occupancy while other 
work was being done about the grounds, together with 
the early decision arrived at by the Commission of dis¬ 
posing of it before the same decisicn had been arrived 
at by other Boards, enabled them to obtain for it $275.00 
in cash, together with a good and sufficient bond on the 
part of the purchasers to comply with the requirements 
of the Park Commissioners. In addition to this all elec¬ 
tric wire and chandeliers, and leaded glass windows 
were removed, valued at $1,200. Many of the buildings 
were given away; in some instances a sum in addition to 
the building itself was required to effect its removal. 

The Commission instead of selling the exhibits and 
booths, as many of the other States did, decided, so far 
as was practicable, to remove the booths and exhibits to 
Minnesota and re erect them in permanent shape, feel¬ 
ing that a portion of the surplus money at their com¬ 
mand could be better expended in this way than any 
other. In accordance with this determination the agri¬ 
cultural booth and exhibits were re-erected under the 
supervision of the Board on the State Fair Grounds at

SECRETARY’S REPORT 


Hamline in practically the same manner as that in which 
they were originally erected in Chicago. 

The fish and fishery exhibit was placed at the dis¬ 
posal of the State Game & Fish Commission, and has 
been located in the new building erected at the State 
Hatchery, St. Paul. 

The educational and mineral exhibits, together with 
the complete and beautiful collection of grasses and flora, 
and the magnificent moose, have been presented to the 
State University; while many valuable publications and 
Indian relics were given to the State Historical Society, 
and the superb collection of mounted and framed 
photographs now adorn the Capitol in St. Paul. 

The carpets, furniture and fixtures, representing an 
expenditure of many thousands of dollars, were divided 
among the various State institutions according to their 
requirements so far as the same could be ascertained, 
thus preventing the sacrifice of these articles which 
must surely have followed the attempt to dispose of 
them at forced sale in a market already enormously over¬ 
stocked. 

The Secretary desires to thank each member of the 
Board, and also the Superintendent, for their cordial 
co-operation during the entire continuance of the labors 
of the Commission, without which the services required 
of him must have been rendered far more arduous, and 
the occupation of the past two years, to which he now 
looks back with unmingled pleasure, would be but the 
record of a thankless and irksome drudgery. 

The following statistical report of receipts and dis¬ 
bursements, as shown by my books, is respectfully sub¬ 
mitted :

TREASURER’S REPORT. 


Austin, Minn., May 26th, 1894. 
To the Honorable Board of World’s Fair Managers of 

Minnesota. 

Gentlemen: • I have the honor to submit herewith my 
final report as Treasurer of this Board, itemized as per 
vouchers,"duly approved by the President and Secre¬ 
tary, and audited by the financial committee of the 
Board. 

A perusal of this report will show that of the $150,000 
appropriated from State funds by the Legislature, the 
sum of $106,465.80 was placed in my hands. The re¬ 
mainder of the total appropriation was expended under 
direction of the Board by Special Treasurer,D. A. Mon¬ 
fort, from contributions received from individuals, pre¬ 
vious to the passage of the act of the Legislature of 
1893, adding $100,000 to the sum of $50,000 appro¬ 
priated by the previous Legislature. It is not neces¬ 
sary for me to. review this report, as the detailed state¬ 
ments following supply all information in my possession. 
It is a matter for congratulation that this Board has so 
managed its finances as to be enabled to convey back 
into the State Treasury the sum of $15,000, after hav¬ 
ing liquidated all obligations incurred in giving to the 
great State of Minnesota a most creditable and praise- 



/ 


110 


TREASURER’S REPORT 


worthy showing in all essential departments at the 
World’s Fair. Lest I might seem unappreciative of the 
courtesies received, I beg to express my gratitude to 
each individual member of the Board for the generous 
assistance accorded, and for the evidence of confidence 
expressed in my integrity by my selection as the cus¬ 
todian of the funds placed in your hands for disburse¬

WOHAN’S AUXILIARY BOARD. 


PRESIDENT’S REPORT. 

I). A. MonfortPresident Minnesota Board of World's 
Fair Managers , St. Paul , Minn. 

Saint Paul, Nov. 23rd, 1893. 
The Woman’s Auxiliary to the World’s Fair Commis¬ 
sion of Minnesota, was a voluntary organization of 
women created by a convention of delegates, sent from 
each county of Minnesota, and held in the People’s 
Church at St. Paul, on Thursday, February 24th, 1892. 
This convention elected one principal and one alternate 
from each of the seven Congressional districts, viz: 

First District —Mrs. A. T. Stebbins, Rochester. 
Alternate—Miss Carrie Benson, Lake City. 

Second District —Mrs. L. P. Hunt, Mankato. 

Alternate—Mrs. F. A. Day, Fairmont. 

Third District —Mrs. Francis M. Crosby, Hastings. 
Alternate—Mrs. Joel P. Heathwole, Northfield. 

Fourth District —Mrs. Henry Hasenwinkle, St. Paul. 

Alternate—Mrs. E. W. Durant, Stillwater. 

Fifth District —Mrs. F. L. Greenleaf, Minneapolis. 

Alternate—Dr. A. S. Hutchinson, Minneapolis. 
Sixth District —Mrs. George Forsyth, Brainerd. 

Alternate—Mrs. Prindle, Duluth. 

Seventh District —Mrs. A. A. White, Moorhead. 
Alternate—Mrs. George Pennock, Willmar. 

They, with two National Lady Managers from this 


130 REPORT OF WOMAN'S AUXILIARY 

state—Mrs. H. F. Brown, of Minneapolis, and Mrs. F. 
B. Clarke, of St. Paul—have composed the Board, and 
have had complete control of the presentation of 
Woman’s work and exhibits from Minnesota, at the Col¬ 
umbian Exposition. The Board has been fortunate in 
possessing the confidence and co-operation of the State 
Commissioners, who have generously placed at its dis¬ 
posal the funds necessary to carry out its plans for a 
successful exhibit. 

This Board has not only held regular monthly meet- 
ngs, and towards the close of the work, a number of 
special ones, but has conducted, from time to time, so- 
called open meetings, which were attended by women 
from the entire State, and on which occasions questions 
of importance were discussed. These meetings were 
made not only possible, but most agreeable through the 
courtesy of the officers of the New York Life Associa¬ 
tion, who placed several convenient, spacious rooms at 
the disposal of the Board. 

Thirty-seven of the eighty counties of Minnesota, 
owing to the efforts of the District Managers, formed 
auxiliaries that aimed to promote interest and effec¬ 
tively present local exhibits. Various counties report 
the following exhibits : 

Fine Arts— Chairman, Mrs. L. Hinkle, Minneapolis. 

Six water colors; two oil paintings and one pencil 
drawing. 

Decorative Art— Chairman, Mrs. 1 . Whittlesey, Min¬ 
neapolis. 

Two large cases, containing needlework and decora¬ 
ted china; one from the St. Paul’s Woman’s Exchange 
and one from the State at large. (Each received sev¬ 
eral individual awards.)

apolis.

Fifteen hundred dollars ($1,500.00) were contributed 
by the school children of Minnesota towards the fine 
plaster cast of Hiawatha placed in the portico of the 
Minnesota building. Designs for this statue were re¬ 
ceived from various sculptors in America, but Mr. Fjelde 
of Minneapolis received the commission for the statue. 

Music—Chairman, Mrs. C. A. Furness, St. Paul. 

The work of this committee has been very successful 
and helpful. It brought into prominence many women 
of talent who look upon their profession as a means of 
self-support, and to whom the diploma secured will 



134 


REPORT OP WOMAN’S AUXILIARY 


prove of inestimable service. Out of forty applicants 
from Minnesota, eighteen successfully passed the jury. 

Scholarship —Chairman, Mrs. F. B. Clarke, St. Paul. 

Perhaps the most satisfactory feature has been the 
giving to women of ability and worth the advantages of 
the Exposition. It was so arranged that philanthropic 
institutions or generously disposed individuals could, 
by the payment of twenty-five dollars ($25.00), purchase 
a scholarship which would entitle the beneficiary to two 
weeks at the Fair, including transportation, lodging, 
board and admission to the grounds. SeVenty-five 
women, otherwise deprived of this advantage, grate¬ 
fully accepted the opportunity provided for stimulating 
and enlarging their life work. Minnesota has been, with 
the exception of New York, the only State to originate 
and successfully carry out this plan, which could never 
have obtained fruition without the generous and timely 
aid of Mr. W. H. Truesdale of Minneapolis, President 
of the Minneapolis & St. Louis Railroad, and of Mr. W. 
J. C. Kenyon, General Traffic Manager of the Burling¬ 
ton Railroad, who gave free transportation to and from 
Chicago. To Mrs. George R. Metcalf of St. Paul, too 
much praise cannot be given for the business-like and 
thorough manner in which she assumed the no light task 
of collecting and disbursing all the funds incidental to the 
enterprise, and of carrying on a necessarily somewhat 
complicated system. 

Perhaps no better proof of the value of Scholarships 
can be shown than the constant demand for them from 
other States who had no such provision for aiding 
deserving women. Seventy-five women were sent thus 
from Minnesota to the World’s Fair. 

Dormitory —Chairman, Mrs. Henry Hasenwinkle,' St. 

Paul. 

Twelve hundred’(i,200) shares of Woman’s Dormitory 


TO BOARD OF MANAGERS. 


135 


stock were sold, thus providing comfortable and con¬ 
venient accommodations for those with moderate means. 

Jury of Award.— 

Minnesota was especially favored both in the number 
and ability of her jury representation. Four women 
were selected as judges from this State, and received the 
warmest commendations from all who had knowledge of 
their valuable work. They were Mrs. Johanna Frey of 
St. Paul on Education, Mrs. Olberg of Albert Lea on 
Manufactures, Mrs. Palmer Henderson on Ethnology, 
and Miss Shanley on Education. Mrs. Olberg was more 
frequently mentioned for her brilliant and comprehen¬ 
sive work by distinguished foreign judges than perhaps 
any other woman juror. 

The Treasurer, Mrs. A. A. White has received from 
the State Commission $6,000.00. She has disbursed 
$5,531.81, leaving a balance of $469.19. $600 was 

added to the Children’s Building Fund through the 
efforts of the young ladies of the State, headed by Miss 
Sturgis of St. Paul.

Much assistance has been given the Board by the col¬ 
ored people of Minnesota, who served on all committees, 
and were especially active in raising money for Scholar¬ 
ships and the Children’s Building. Minnesota points 
with pride to this fact as being unique in the record of 
the States. 

It is to be regretted that the full list of awards al¬ 
lotted to the Minnesota exhibits has not yet come in, 
but this will be published later. 

In closing this necessarily incomplete report of the 
work of the Board, it is with the sincere wish that the 
joint efforts put forth by the women of Minnesota to 
show their best work may not fail to bring forth good 
fruit in the years to come, and may prove a vital 
stimulus to future activity. 

LENA BURTON CLARKE, 

President Minnesota Woman’s Auxiliary Board.
